Question

What words or images come to mind when you think of disability?

Answer 1

Although most people think of disability as a weakness, I normally think of it as a challenge. They struggle hard to overcome their difficulties and most of them succeed in doing. So, words such as challenging (day today activities), empowering (self), struggling (with the disability), willing (to live), compensating (with other organs), and suffering (from the pain). In terms of images, I always have a dove which is the symbol of peace, a seed trying to come out of the land to the surface, a Pegasus which is a flying horse and a phoenix which resurrect itself from the ashes.
